The Washing Machine Is the Biggest Threat to Your Underwear Drawer
Underwired bras, lace underwear, and delicate lingerie are among the most expensive items in a wardrobe per unit — and among the most vulnerable to washing machine damage. The mechanical action of the drum stretches elastic, bends underwires, snags lace, and gradually destroys the structure that makes these garments fit and function correctly. Most people accept this as inevitable, replacing damaged underwear regularly and attributing the damage to normal wear. It is not inevitable. It is the predictable consequence of washing delicates without protection.
The 70g Gray Mesh Laundry Bag provides that protection. A 70g mesh construction — heavier and more durable than standard laundry bags — that creates a protective enclosure around your delicates during the wash cycle. The mesh allows water and detergent to circulate freely, ensuring thorough cleaning, while the bag structure limits the mechanical action that causes damage. Available in coarse and fine mesh variants across a full size range, with specialist bra and cylinder bag shapes for items that need specific protection.
70g Construction – Durability That Outlasts Standard Bags
The 70g mesh weight is the defining feature of this bag. Standard laundry bags use lighter mesh that provides basic protection but deteriorates quickly with regular use — the mesh stretches, the zip weakens, and the bag loses its protective function within a season. The 70g construction maintains its structure and protective function through hundreds of wash cycles, making it a genuine long-term investment rather than a disposable accessory.
The heavier mesh also provides better protection against the mechanical action of the drum. A lighter bag flexes and deforms during the wash cycle, allowing the garments inside to experience more movement and friction than a stiffer, heavier bag. The 70g construction maintains its shape throughout the cycle, providing consistent protection from start to finish.
Coarse Mesh & Fine Mesh – Matched to Your Fabric
Fine mesh is the correct choice for the most delicate fabrics: lace, silk, fine knits, and any fabric with a surface texture that could snag on a coarser mesh. The fine mesh provides maximum protection against mechanical abrasion. Coarse mesh is the correct choice for heavier delicates — cotton underwear, bras with structured cups, and items that need more water circulation to clean thoroughly without being damaged by the drum’s mechanical action.
Full Size Range Including Specialist Shapes
Available in five standard sizes (25x30cm, 30x40cm, 40x50cm, 50x60cm, 60x60cm) for garments of different sizes, plus two specialist shapes: the Bra Bag (17x15cm), specifically shaped to protect bra cups from compression and distortion, and the Cylinder Bag, designed for towels, rolled garments, and items that benefit from a cylindrical rather than flat enclosure during the wash cycle.
